Re-watch an old movie Chocolat/Carlos Pueblo

 Re-watch an old movie Chocolat/Carlos Pueblo

Recently there is an old movie Chocolat free on the You Tube and I have re-watched it twice. It has been for more than 20 years since it first out in 2000. I am very pleased to view it again especially after many times visit in Europe. I have watched it twice this time and also check on the google search. This is a very touching movie about a pair of young mother and her daughter were wondering in Europe and coming to this small French town in a snow stormy day. It is a story of her new life as a chocolate store owner started from zero.

This young mother has inherited her mother, a native Maya character that always following the north wind to wonder from place to place with her daughter. She is very confident according to the author. She has learned how to make chocolate products and manage well in her bakery business. The town is very conservative and catholic and amazingly she makes it. The story is about how she has dealt with the new environment and made many friends under so much difficulty.

It costed about 25 million to make this move and with a result of 152 million tickets income as a result. I can see how successful it is. Not only the story itself is very interesting but also many distinguished actors performing so well. It has received 5 Oscar nominations even though not gotten any award still is a very good movie. I can recognize an excellent piece from a regular one. I am also interested in watching movies.
